About Centaur Privacy

Centaur Privacy is an AI-augmented privacy engineering service. We scan your codebase for compliance violations and deliver actionable findings, not just reports.

Most compliance teams are stuck choosing between expensive legal review and generic scanners that miss real risk. We sit in the middle: AI handles roughly 90% of the analysis, surfacing concrete, line-level findings; a human reviewer signs off the parts that need judgment. You get the depth of a specialist review at the speed and cost of automated tooling.

We focus on the work that matters most: catching the small number of issues that would trigger real enforcement, and ignoring the noise that wastes engineering cycles.

Centaur Privacy was founded by Amit Datta, after over a decade of work on privacy-enhancing technologies in both academic and industry environments. He holds a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University, has published and reviewed at leading conferences in the field, and is named on multiple patents in privacy-preserving systems. After eight years in privacy engineering roles at Snap and Amazon, he founded Centaur Privacy to bring in-house privacy engineering, the kind that catches real risk, to teams that can't yet staff it full-time.
